icon Mibbit
Open

You can connect to multiple chat servers, simply fill in the form and click Connect.
Register on mibbit and setup your auto-connects. That way next time you visit, we'll auto connect you to your favourite servers, authenticate you with them, and even join your favourite channels!
Note: Mibbit is NOT an anonymizer. We send your IP to all IRC servers. You will still be identifiable, and can be banned individually. Do not evade bans, or abuse/spam.
icon MobileChat 2.23

While everyone was knocking the iPhone's capabilities and complaining about the lack of iChat support, we took a different route and figured we'd fill the gap that Apple shockingly left open. That being said, MobileChat was born. Using a simplistic approach, keeping a unified GUI in mind, and using the most light weight methods for executing tasks, MobileChat is the premier AIM Application for the iPhone. In fact, it's so light-weight and efficient that it runs just about as well on the EDGE network as it does on any WiFi network! Give it a try today and if you love it that much (We know you will!), tell your friends!

icon TinyBuddy Web IM
Open

Have an iPhone, but wish you could IM your buddies? Now you can, with TinyBuddy IM. It is an AIM Enabled web-based IM tool. It works by using the Web AIM API, OpenAuth and Dojo.
The nice thing about this solution: you do not send your AIM password to me -- you are redirected to AOL's OpenAuth servers for authentication. My JavaScript only sees an auth token. Furthermore, my web page has to get your explicit consent before accessing your buddy list data and before sending the first IM or presence change.
So the price of this added security is pop-up windows. A new window will be popped so you can authenticate with the OpenAuth servers, and also when giving consent to the application to access your buddy list and IM. For the consent prompts, you can choose "Grant Always" to avoid them on subsequent logins. I think the pop-ups are worth the added security, and at least in iPhone's Safari, window popping looks neat. Unfortunately, the OpenAuth Sign In and Consent pages are made for larger windows, so you will have to double-tap zoom to read them.
